That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Well at least we now know what pro-AI musicians generally look like.

This one really hurts. He was a true craftsman and practitioner that lived in a song when he played it. There’s so much music of Glen Hansard’s to recommend and to sit with it is always time well-spent.

Pretty sure we can ignore any opinions on the The Odyssey (or anything) from that special selection of folks that believe in a lily white Jesus that was super down with hoarding wealth and passing judgement on others.
